4 Put the plate onto a hot plate about 180°C then place the image face down onto the plate and rub flat with a tissue until the image is well stuck to the plate. Immediately immerse the plate in a bath of boiling hot water and wait until the backing sheet floats off.

5. Allow to dry and when dry place the plate back onto the hot plate or in a domestic oven to make sure all the toners are properly adhered.

You are now ready to etch. An aqua tint may be applied. Before printing remove toners with solvents, or heat until melted and wipe off with rag and white spirits.

Lazertran Silk can be applied to all kinds of surfaces using 3M Permanent Photo Mount Spray.

Have your image printed in reverse or mirror. Cut image to size. Apply spray mount onto the image then stick down onto surface. You can iron through the backing sheet if applying to cloth to make sure of good adhesion. Wet backing sheet and peel off. Leave to dry overnight.
